New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 25
Prayer for Guidance and for Deliverance
Of David.
1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.(A)
2 O my God, in you I trust;
do not let me be put to shame;
do not let my enemies exult over me.(B)
3 Do not let those who wait for you be put to shame;
let them be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.(C)
4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.(D)
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long.(E)
6 Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.(F)
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your steadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!(G)
8 Good and upright is the Lord;
therefore he instructs sinners in the way.(H)
9 He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches the humble his way.(I)
10 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.(J)

The Baptism of Jesus
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.(A) 10 And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove upon him.(B) 11 And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my Son, the Beloved;[a] with you I am well pleased.”(C)
The Testing of Jesus
12 And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 He was in the wilderness forty days, tested by Satan, and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels waited on him.
The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry
14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the good news[b] of[c] God(D) 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near;[d] repent, and believe in the good news.”[e](E)
